Rules

07/01/12

Elderscale Wurm’s last ability doesn’t prevent damage. It only changes the result of damage dealt to you. For example, a creature will lifelink that deals damage to you will still cause its controller to gain life, even if that damage would reduce your life total to less than 7.

07/01/12

If you have less than 7 life, damage dealt to you reduces your life total as normal.

07/01/12

In a Commander game, combat damage you’re dealt by a commander is still tracked, even if it doesn’t change your life total.
